Kansas GOP Senate candidate Kris Kobach blamed his gubernatorial loss last year on “propaganda” and is vowing to take a new approach to his Senate bid.
“I’d failed to anticipate just how powerful the propaganda would be,” the former Kansas secretary of State said in a five-minute video released by his campaign.
“When someone is called a ‘racist,’ a ‘fascist,’ even a ‘white nationalist’ over and over on a daily basis, even Kansans will eventually doubt themselves.”
Kobach asserted that his views were more in line with voters than his critics had maintained.
“Democrats and their media allies had convinced many people, even Republicans, that I was an extremist,” he said. “If I were one, I would tell you, but I’m not.”
